Senator Harris remarked that the
committee on his eide of the chamber
had insisted upon an early cnnsideia-

but the IN nitiee on the other side
had put t far down on the list.

Senator Miller replied that the i'm

recoguiz ID by the whole country and
that in his opinion the pleuro pneu-
mnnis bill, ii it became law acd WIS
faithfully executed, would save mo Q

Senator Mcpherson, Who addressed
The Ohair at the ZANE instant for the
purpose OF getting before the Senate
the joint resolution providing for an
investigation of the Pacific railway,
complained OF his not being able now,
or at other times, to obtain recogni-
ton.
the presiding officer remarked that
the iticism Of the senator was I'M
just. The Chair had endeavorsd to
be entirely impartial. If the motion
of the Senator from New York pre-
v2iled, it would then bs within the
power of the Senator from New Jer-
sey to postpone that bill and to take
up the Pacific railroad joint resoIu-

S1nator Mcpherson repeated that
not only today, but for several days,
he bad been 'rurprissd" at the action
of the Chair. That was all the ciiti-
cism he would make at present.
